Cosmetic Nose (Rhinoplasty) with Chin Implant

This 31 year-old gentleman was unhappy with the appearance of his nose and the profile of his chin. His nasal tip deviated to the left side and appeared to turn downward. A cosmetic rhinoplasty was performed to reposition the nasal cartilage into a more natural position. In addition, a silicone chin implant was used to create a better balance in his side profile appearance. The result, pictured at 6 months, shows improved symmetry of the nose and a masculine profile.

Cosmetic Nose (Rhinoplasty)

This 16 year-old female was very unhappy with the appearance of her nose. She felt as if the large hump on her nose did not fit her face. In addition, she was concerned about appearing “overdone” and wished to keep some of the ethnic characteristics of her thick nasal tip. A cosmetic rhinoplasty was performed in an effort to reduce her nasal hump and achieve facial balance. In addition, the tip was refined very subtly as to not aggressively change her appearance. Her postoperative photo is shown at 1 year.

Cosmetic Nose (Rhinoplasty) with Cleft Lip Revision

This 22 year-old gentleman was born with a congenital deformity known as a cleft lip. This deformity creates an open space that extends from the exterior of the lip to the upper jaw bone. Patients who are born with a cleft lip often lack stability of the bones of the upper jaw, which causes the nose to collapse on one side. Although the lip deformity was repaired at birth, he was very unhappy with the indentation of the lip scar. In addition, his nose appeared collapsed and he had intense difficulty breathing through his nose. A rhinoplasty utilizing cartilage from his rib cage was performed in order to reinforce and straighten the nose. Bone graft from his ribs was utilized to build bone support to the upper jaw. In addition, a revision of the lip skin and muscles was performed to create a more aesthetic contour. The result, pictured at 1 year, shows improved symmetry of the nose and a masculine profile.
